Data Protection Officer: Stephanie A. Brede

1.)          Processing of personal data
We process personal data from you within the framework of the website as follows (for further data processing within the framework of the website, please refer to the following paragraphs of this privacy policy):

Log files when visiting the website
When using our website, our hosting provider logs so-called “log file” data each time the server is accessed, such as the name of the website accessed, previously visited page (“referrer” URL), product and version information of the browser and operating system used, requesting provider, date and time of access, search engines used, country of access, amount of data transferred, names of downloaded files and IP address.

The legal basis for the processing is Article 6 (1) f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest in storing the log file data is to ensure system security, including the detection of misuse. The IP addresses are deleted after a maximum of 7 days, unless they are needed longer due to a security-related incident, for example for clarification or evidence purposes.

Contact requests:
In the case of contact requests, we process your personal data such as name, address, e-mail address, telephone number or similar, which we need to respond to your request.

The legal basis for the processing of your personal data in the context of contact requests is Art. 6 para. 1 b) of the General Data Protection Regulation.

In the context of contact inquiries, we store your personal data for as long as is necessary to process your inquiry, plus a reasonable retention period for queries.

The provision of this personal data is not required by law or contract or necessary for the conclusion of a contract. However, if you do not provide us with this data, we will not be able to respond to your contact request or – in the case of limited contact details – not be able to respond to all requested communication channels.

Registration/ Orders:
When you register or place orders, we process your personal data such as name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, date of birth, user name you have chosen yourself, payment data or similar, which we require for the fulfillment of the contractual relationship with you or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures that are carried out at your request.

We store your personal data collected in the course of registration or orders for as long as is necessary for the fulfillment of the contractual relationship (including the provision of the customer account, if applicable) and/or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at your request and/or with regard to warranty, guarantee or comparable obligations and/or with regard to statutory retention periods.

The legal basis for the processing of your personal data collected in the context of registration or orders is Article 6 (1) b) and Article 6 (1) c) of the General Data Protection Regulation.

The provision of this personal data is not required by law or contract. However, it is required for the conclusion of the contract, i.e. the execution of the registration or order, insofar as the relevant information is mandatory (instead of merely voluntary) in our registration/order process.

Newsletter:
If you register for our newsletter, we process the data collected in the process, such as your e-mail address, title, etc., for the purposes of sending the newsletter.

The legal basis for the processing of your personal data in the context of sending our newsletter is Article 6 (1) a) of the General Data Protection Regulation.

We store the personal data that we need for sending the newsletter until you revoke your consent to receive the newsletter.

Insofar as information is mandatory (instead of merely voluntary) as part of the newsletter registration, we cannot accept your newsletter registration without this information.

3.)       Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. The collected data is transmitted to the provider’s servers in the USA. Google bases this data transfer on the EU standard contractual clauses.

However, in the case of activation of IP anonymization on this website, your IP address will be truncated beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google. Insofar as cookies are not set on the website anyway only when a corresponding consent is given, you can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.

The data processed in the context of the use of Google Analytics will be automatically deleted.
